That's impossible to answer at the moment, the scale of the Milky Way is too vast to give a clear indication.

However, from estimates, there is a good change that at least 50% of all stars will have some sort of planetary system.

How many moons Andromeda galaxy have?

It is not known. The Andromeda Galaxy contains about a trillion stars, many of which certainly have planets, though we don't know how many. Many of the planets likely have moons. All told, there are likely several hundred billion to several trillion moons in the Andromeda Galaxy.

There are billions of planets and moons in the Star Wars galaxy.


How many moons altogether are there in your galaxy?

My galaxy, the Milky Way (which is also your galaxy; I am sure that the person asking this question is not a visitor from another galaxy) has not been examined in enough detail to say even how many planets it contains, much less how many moons orbit those planets. But given that our own solar system has numerous moons, and there are billions of other stars in the galaxy which probably also have planets and moons, at a wild guess I could estimate possibly a hundred billion moons.


Is solar system a galaxy?

No. A galaxy is a collection of stars ... possibly as many as hundreds of billions of stars in one galaxy. Our sun ... including all of the comets, asteroids, moons, and planets including earth that make up the solar system ... is one star out of the estimated 200 to 400 billion stars in our galaxy.


Are the stars in the sky different planets and moons we have not discovered yet?

No. We know what the stars are. They are not planets. They are distant suns, many of which do have undiscovered planets.


Which galaxy are the planets on?

Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.


How many moons in our galaxy?

It's difficult to determine the exact number of moons in our galaxy, the Milky Way, as many exoplanets and their moons remain unobserved. However, estimates suggest there could be billions of moons orbiting the numerous planets in our galaxy, which contains over 100 billion stars, many of which likely have their own planetary systems. Current observations primarily focus on our solar system, where we have identified over 200 moons. The true number across the galaxy is still largely unknown and remains a subject of ongoing research.


How many moons and stars are there in the milky way?

There are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. We only know of moons in the solar system - 169 of them.


Why do stars planets and moons do not collide it self?

The moon is many times closer to the Earth than the stars are.


How many moons are in a sun?

The concept of "moons in a sun" is not scientifically defined, as suns (like our Sun) are stars and do not contain moons. Moons orbit planets, while stars are at the center of solar systems. In our solar system, there are eight planets, each potentially having its own moons, but the Sun itself has no moons.


How many moons does the milky galaxy have?

We only know about the number of moons for our own solar system. Technology now lets us see very large planets around other nearby stars. We have found a few near Earth size. However currently we can not detect moons around planets in other solar systems.


How many moons make up the sun?

The Sun is a star and does not have any moons. Moons typically orbit around planets, not stars.
